Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To improve the clinical detection rate of bone and joint fractures of the extremities and to explore the value and significance of the application of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) postprocessing technology in diagnosis. METHODS: 80 patients with bone and joint fractures of the extremities admitted to the hospital were selected as the research objects. The patients received X-ray digital radiography (DR) plain film examination and then MSCT examination. At the same time, multiplane reconstruction (MPR) and surface shadow display (SSD) and volume rendering three-dimensional imaging (VRT) technology and other postprocessing technologies compare the differences in the detection rate of limbs and joint fractures between the two inspection methods. RESULTS: A total of 100 fractures were found in 80 patients. The detection rate of X-ray DR was 69%. After MSCT postprocessing technology, the detection rates of MPR, SSD, and VRT were 96%, 98%, and 99%, respectively. The accuracy of MSCT postprocessing technology in diagnosing extremity bone and joint fractures was significantly higher than that of DR, and the difference between groups was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: MSCT postprocessing technology for patients with extremity bone and joint fractures has a good effect. It is not only noninvasive but also has a high detection rate. It can significantly reduce the missed and misdiagnosed rate and provide detailed imaging data for the formulation of clinical treatment plans.
